Re: Family Lae

In VA you can convert separate property (your house) into marital property by using your income during the marriage to pay the mortgage. However, your marriage of 6 months in no way has allowed that to happen, but if you continue on in the marriage and continue to use your income (which is marital property) to pay the mortgage just know that you are slowly turning it into marital property. But again, after 6 months, no he wouldn't be entitled to any of it!
